Yeah, volume 2 is pretty expensive. I only have the first one so far. I don't even know if there are more than 5 or Viz was just continuing their 90's antics of picking up series, publishing bits and pieces, and then dropping it forever. I can't even find that info on Japanese sites. I know the 1st GE999 series went for 18 volumes, then there was a 2nd (that's what we got) started in the 90's that doesn't seem as highly regarded. There's also a 2nd release of the GE999 series that was 21 volumes, and i don't know if it included pt. 2 or not.

That's a lot! Where did you order her from? Hobby Search? HLJ hasn't sent me the "PAY UP!" email yet. I'm debating whether i should switch to SAL shipping or just go with EMS because it's not TOO expensive.

Compass, is Doctor Lautrec worth getting? I saw you had it as your favorite game for a while. I almost bought it today, but the Gamestop clerk started speaking badly about Final Fantasy XII and i really had to leave.

I watched ALL OF IT in the past week! 39 episodes! And the new season is just starting! It doesn't get old, either! I think the 2nd season was the best so far, but the 3rd was still really good. In less competent hands, it would turn into yokai of the week, but the stories are always wonderful.
There were a few things i didn't like in the 1st season, mainly the animation being just bad at some points and his two best friend characters. From the beginning of the 2nd season the animation gets a lot better. There's one episode where the animation director gets all stylized and it just looks amazing. The two friend characters are redeemed MUCH later, when they're fleshed out a little beyond "zany best friends".
